When it comes to escaping during an alarm, never underestimate the power of Intimidation. I don't know how the role works, but my more powerful liberals shouting the slogan can reduce a squad of 12 or so SMG armed security guards down to 2 in a single turn. 12 SMG attacks could probably slaughter, or at least injure, most squads. 2 are far less of a threat.

I think intimidate only works full power against a single foe (the chosen target). Bluff always clears all.

I learned that the hard way. Agents were sieging my safehouse and my 3 or 4 conservatively (poorly) armed liberals ran into a group of about 12. I intimidated one of them successfully, only to be slaughtered the next turn by his buddies.

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

I don't know what Liberal Crime Squad you've been playing, but in mine Intimidate effects everyone.

It *may* affect everyone (as in your example, it didn't do [poo] to those two guys). Some targets just won't run away. What I'm wondering is whether it affects the primary target more than the others.

I think it has to do with the enemy's type and wisdom, and involves a separate check for each enemy. Agents are less likely to be scared than rednecks.
